What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on infrastructure role focused on owning and administering a SCADA platform and its supporting stack — including clustering, redundancy, historian databases, and the data path from plant floor to enterprise systems — within a 24/7 manufacturing environment. The position also involves designing and operating hybrid on-premises and cloud infrastructure across distributed datacenters. It suits an infrastructure engineer with strong resilience and high-availability experience, ideally with some exposure to industrial or OT environments.

Why we read it this way (8)
Redwood Materials is headquartered in McCarran (Sparks), NV, near Reno — mapped to the Reno, NV CBSA. The posting mentions travel to San Francisco, South Carolina, and Germany but does not indicate a different primary work location.
The role sits at the boundary between 15-1244 (Systems/Network Administration) and 15-1252 (Software Developers). The primary day-to-day work — administering SCADA platforms, managing clustering/redundancy, database/historian administration, and operating hybrid infrastructure — is closer to systems administration (15-1244). However, the design-and-build responsibilities and scripting/automation expectations add a development flavor; 15-1252 is noted as the runner-up.
SCADA experience is explicitly called 'a plus, but not required' in the posting, so it is marked preferred despite being the central platform this role owns. The required qualifications focus on general infrastructure skills (virtualization, containers, networking, HA/DR) rather than SCADA specifically.
PowerShell and Python are listed together as interchangeable scripting options ('e.g., PowerShell, Python'); captured as one skill with Python as an alternative.
MaxScale and F5 are listed as examples of proxy/load-balancing tiers alongside Galera (clustering) — all appear under the preferred SCADA infrastructure block and are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures were provided; the posting states only 'compensation will be commensurate with experience.'
Degree requirement is None: the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): OT/IT network segmentation.
